Lesson 2-reflection

I have learned a lot of things in this second lesson. For example, I have learned about advanced voice recognition technology that has already been created, how social networking sites work and how they benefit us, why copying people's work is not right and the advantages and disadvantages of a blog and a website.
Human-Computer Interaction has increased so drastically over the years that I am surprised that an electronics company has already voice recognition devices that allow you to use your TV as a computer and speak to it like a human. It can even spell out the words you say out loud! Also, I saw that computer programming and GPS have already merged together so that you do not need to drive a car! A phone like device will help drive the car, detect obstacles and find the fastest route! This way, there will be less automobile accidents.
I also learned that social networking sites like facebook, myspace, etc. allow you to find jobs and even partners, homes and many other things! Social networking sites allow you to know people who know other people who know other people... who knows someone who can benefit you!
A blog is usually used by the public as it is easier to set-up and thus, the general public will use it to pen (type) down their thoughts and so on easily. However, if you are a business man trying to sell e-commerce, you should create a website, even though it is harder to set-up. However, a website's background theme is easier to change and it is easier to do business on a website.
Finally, I learned that copying people's work is not right. How would you feel if someone copied your work and said it was their own? It is O.K. to 'copy' some information but you should re-phrase it and use another format.
